Dreamweaver CS3 crashes and won’t start up again

Posted on 06. May, 2009 by SiteBox in Software

Apparently, an install of Dreamweaver CS3 crashes if you edit a file to exactly a multiple of 8,192 bytes.  Not a byte more, not a byte less.  The chances of this happening are probably fairly small, to edit a file to the exact size and at the same moment DW does some processing stuff and doesn’t like what you’re giving it.

What you need to do is change the file size on the file that is causing the issue. In my case, I did a search in Windows  ( *.css ) look for latest file around 8kb and read the properties. to see that its was indeed 8,192 bytes, I then edited the file in Notepad and just added a comment /* –  DW 8192 Bug Fix –*/ and save the files. Then I was able to Start Dreamweaver CS3 again.
